Re: Memorial sundial

[Mike Cowham]

Hello John,     You may certainly be right on this, but even so a sundial as a memorial is still a possibility even if we have to ignore the nodus to record the actual time of the event.  A well built memorial should outlast the current buildings in the area so who knows about the future?  I have a feeling that excessively tall buildings will be a thing of the past from now on.      Recent TV pictures from helicopters have shown that the ground at the site was illuminated by the sun, (no time stated), so at least it would work especially in the summer months.       Regards,     Mike Cowham.   John Carmichael wrote:-   Wouldn't there be a lot of shadow horizon pollution from nearby tall buildings, especially between 8:00 and 9:00?  To be sure, you would probably have to do a survey of the area, or visit the site at the same time next year next year.     John L.
